so, after the disappointment i felt with the IE 5.2 upgrade, i decided to stop using it. i am now an omniweb sneaky peek 91 user. so far, it does much of what i need. i cannot remember having a gripe while surfing the web in IE. now, the javascript rollover on the university website (where i work) does not work and it is the only way to navigate the site. i have informed the webmaster and hopefully this will get fixed some day. also, i like to visit <a href="www.carsdirect.com">carsdirect.com</a> and when i get to where i normally view info about each car, it is extremely messed up in OW. i am being forced back into IE momentarily from time to time. that sux.<br><br>also, i have an BUNCH of sites (probably >100) in my IE scrapbook. this scrapbook feature worked very well to save receipts of everything i bought so i wouldn't have to print it and waste paper. anyway, it is proprietary and doesn't work with anything but IE. i have found a workaround in OW by printing the screen and then saving as a PDF (not actually printing). all i need now is for someone to create an applescript to change the scrapbook files to PDFs and i'll not have to return to read those files.<br><br>otherwise, i don't notice the speed increase or anything else. i have blocked the ads that annoyed me. i like the real estate of OW going to the window's edge. oops, gotta run.<br><br>[color:blue] -sean</font color=blue>

Just downloaded OW 4.1 and am using it now, but it's still just too slow for my tastes. I've even paid the shareware fee cause I think the Omni people should be supported as much as possible.<br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

I thought you were crazy to suggest OW was slow, so I had a drag race between it, Chimera, Mozilla, and IE. Eeek! After just a few months, once fast OW has now become the slowpoke, even behind IE 5.2.<br><br>IE looks like crap, but Chim and Moz wail at speed. I still think OW is the better of the bunch, but either Chim has to become more reliable/functional or OW has to speed up.<br><br>It's interesting to watch these races, though.<br><br>Do you rhumba? Excellent! Now pick a rhumba and sit down.. GM

FYI, this is a great read on this topic:<br><br>http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/1627<br><br><br><br><br>"In the old days, you'd finish a day's work and announce, 'I'm done.' Nobody ever does that now. There's never enough time." -- Elliott Masie
